MEDICAL APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING

This seminar is designed to enhance veterinarians’ clinical reasoning and confidence in managing complex medical cases. Participants will learn how to approach cases systematically using a problem-oriented medical framework — from identifying and prioritizing problems to formulating logical differential diagnoses and developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic plans. The session will explore practical strategies for interpreting clinical signs, selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, and integrating results into a coherent medical plan, all while balancing practicality and cost considerations. Through case-based discussions and interactive learning, attendees will strengthen their analytical thinking, improve decision-making under uncertainty, and refine their communication with pet owners. Ideal for small animal practitioners this seminar aims to sharpen diagnostic accuracy and clinical problem-solving skills that can be immediately applied in daily practice.
